Based on the experiences I’ve seen on this subreddit, the solution is to buy a floor to ceiling 42u rack

In a professional setting it’s 2n+ config that’s 2 racks for load balancing and redundancy and the 3rd hot spare rack. So a single 42u rack for your home is basic af it’s a shame technology is so expensive

Quick, cheap hits:

  • Buy a roll of velcro strap and tie up those cords – for longer loops use two straps to keep the loops tidy
  • If you’re sticking with the table (which is fine I think if it’s out of the way), screw your power strip to the underside so that more of the cables will be hidden from view, and you’ll just have the single power cord from the table to the wall.
  • More gnomes.

If that’s a Lack from IKEA, you can turn it into a Lack Rack. There are some shelves available for racks so you could hide some stuff. You can even go as far as setting up a patch panel and a rack power strip. Some power strips have outlets on the front and back, so you can hide stuff in the back.
